Tuesday's Change week 8 - Avocados

I used to HATE avocados. The taste, the texture even the way it felt on my hand I hated all of it!


But then I realised just how amazing they are for you. I started experimenting with recipes and flavours and how to eat it and now I try and have a couple a week. They are just so good for you and the taste and texture has really grown on me.

Check out this excellent article here on all the benefits they can have on your life.


This includes:

Super Brain Food

All Avocados are GMO free and the hard skin naturally protects them from pesticides, therefore, they have less chemicals sprayed during growth. Still buy Organic if the budget allows!

Can increase the absorption of other nutrients in your meal by up to 5 times.

Excellent for stroke prevention

Can reduce cholesterol by up to 17% in less than a week!

Protect your eyes and eyesight

High in fibre

High in good fats which protect the heart, lower blood pressure and reverse insulin resistance

Natural source of folic acid - integral for healthy pregnancy

Brimming with Vitamin E excellent for anti-ageing 

So this weeks challenge is to eat more avocados! It really is that simple. 

I've included some interesting recipes here to get your started.

Paleo Chocolate Mousse

Eat Clean Guacamole Bruschettas

Or alternatively you can:

Add half an avocado to your daily salad

Add an avocado to a soup to thicken it instead of milk or cream

Slice avocado on your bread with your eggs in the morning

Add guacamole to your burgers

Use guacamole as a dip for carrots and celery

The possibilities are endless! Try and eat 3-4 Avocados a week. You will not gain weight or make yourself fat. This is good fat, brain fuel and one of your 5 a day. You really can't eat enough!

Best of luck and keep changing!
